# Small-Group Mesoamerican Barrier Reef Snorkeling in Puerto Morelos

**Guidekin's take:** Two hours on the Mesoamerican reef inside the Puerto Morelos marine reserve in a boat capped at eight, with a certified guide, park fees, gear and a free wetsuit instead of sunscreen. You make your own way to Puerto Morelos, since pickup is not offered. 4.92 from 530 reviews at €41 per person for 2h.

**Small boat, no bus?:** Boat capped at eight, guide, park fees and gear in €41 per person for 2h, wetsuit not sunscreen; two to book, no pickup. 4.92 from 530 reviews. Trade-off: No pickup; two to book. (last checked September 19, 2026)

## Overview

Come and enjoy snorkeling on the second largest barrier reef in the world, the Meso-America barrier reef just off the shore of Puerto Morelos located inside the National Marine Reserve. Group size no more than 8, duration 2 hours, and certified guide to accompany you. Snacks and water available on the boat and no need to queue with skip the line entrance.
Please do not apply any types of creams or lotions before your excursion. Many products say “turtle or Reef Friendly”, we have found most of them are not.
All snorkeling tours in the Puerto Morelos National marine park require life jacket use as part of the federal regulations.
We will offer you the use of our wetsuits free of charge to protect your skin from the sun!
